The Emma Project is one of my go-to comfort reads. It's a beautiful love story that tackles difficult topics like familial abuse, sexism, homelessness, and mental health. The chemistry between Naina and Vansh is 🔥🔥🔥.

pickA spicy finish to Sonali Dev‘s Jane Austen inspired series. The Rajas and their extended family all have dreams that they work hard to make reality without leaving much time for love and romance. 3.25🌟

pickWonderful! A fresh twist on Austen‘s Emma, even more fun with a gender swap. Always a joy to be in the company of the Raje family again. I will miss them now that their series is done. Highly recommend, this may have been my favorite of the bunch. And 2 HEAs 😍 Last photo in front of the tree, taking it down tonight. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Pantone2023 @Clwojick #GrayedJade
pickWhat a charmer this book was. The last of the series focusing on the Raje family, this book was sweet and tumultuous, with fab characterization and lots of capital-R romance. The Emma parallels were both subtle and outright stated, which ended up being clever. Smart, funny, and emotional. This whole series is a must read, really, just totally lovely all around.
pickFunny how I haven‘t posted in 9 months, yet my picture today looks eerily similar to my last. 😄 I haven‘t read a lot this year and I‘m not sure I‘m back in a groove yet, but Bo says hi. 🐾
pickThis was the 4th book in the series, and I appreciate that the author decided to show the bad side of the fabulous Raje family, and I appreciate the lessons that Vansh had to learn.
Naina & Vansh must work together to gain money for their various projects after Vansh‘s older brother publicly dumped Naina. Naina must deal with the trauma of her past & Vansh must grow into his new role.
A fun read, not too light, but a good happy ending. 3/5 stars
Breakfast was a milkshake pretending to be a smoothie, drunk alongside THE EMMA PROJECT. I love Sonali Dev‘s books an awful lot, and I‘m continually baffled by the publisher‘s decision to market them as romcoms. There‘s the odd joke, sure, but on the whole they aren‘t funny. This one deals with domestic abuse, homelessness, and the way women get marginalized in the workplace, among other things.
pickFirst book finished for #BigJuneReadathon
The fourth & apparently last book in the Rajes series this one a loose adaptation of Jane Austen‘s Emma. Not my favorite book of the four, as I spent most of it annoyed by how everyone was behaving, but that‘s kind of how I feel about the original Emma, so 🤷🏻♀️But despite some challenges, the side story of Esha & the ending & series epilogue make it a pick for me. Start with the first in the series ⬇️
Friday desk lunch—we order out & I *needed* fried noodles. The grilled salmon & green instead of Mac salad were an attempt to make it a little healthier.😉 Excuse the messy desk.
I am very fond of the Raje family in this 4th book in this Jane Austen retelling series but I‘m pretty annoyed with most of the sisters (& sister-like cousins) & family matriarch Mina right now with their attitudes toward Naina & Vansh. Hopefully it will all resolve.
so-soSuper torn by this last installment in the Rajes series! O e one hand, I loved reading about Esha, Sid, and how everyone else is doing. Also, I always wanted both Naina and Vansh to get stories. I did not expect them to get a story together. They were fine. I had a real problem with how judgmental Naina is for over half the book. And how his sisters are also pretty bad. But, the epilogue had me feeling all the warm and fuzzies.
